New study reveals more pregnant women are using marijuana

28 December, 2017

In 2009, only about four percent of pregnant women were using marijuana.

In 2018, marijuana will be legally available for recreational use, suggesting that that even more pregnant women may have access to and indulge in it. Among women 18-24, marijuana use climbed from 9.8 percent to 19 percent.

While marijuana effects on a fetus aren't clear, doctors do caution women that smoking could lead to lower birth weights and developmental problems.
